To hate to wake up in the morning to hate doing the same things over and over again?
To keep wearing this mask
Hiding who I truly am?
Being afraid to face the world and the evil in it?
Do you think I like it?

My parents used to be very critical. I hated being around them and never shared my feelings with them as they would use it against me and make me regret opening up. But I feel conflicted for blaming them as I feel I shouldn't blame anyone for my problems.
